Book excerpt: I am writing this book on the development of special strengths to help raise individual lifts, specifically the snatch and the clean and jerk. The value of the top strength has been forgotten. If strength did not matter, then there would be no need for weight classes. But, indeed, there are weight classes and the weights are always larger in the next higher weight class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consolidates Carl Miller's extensive knowledge gained while pursuing his life's work in Olympic-style weightlifting. There are scientific principles behind Olympic-style weightlifting, and Miller's 50 years of lifting, researching and coaching provide valuable insight into the process of Olympic lifting. Whether you are an advanced lifter or a novice, Miller equips you with the tools to become a champion, even if it's in your own mind. For those lifters with the desire to compete, Carl's book will inspire you to immerse your body and mind in the intricacies required to be a winner. Miller's success as a young weightlifter led him to a long and unique career coaching weightlifting, fitness and nutrition to elite athletes in the 1960s and 1970s, and later he spread his message about the benefits of weight training to a wider audience. As Coaching Coordinator for the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team, Miller put into practice many methods and techniques he gleaned from studying successful international lifting programs. The U.S. Olympic weightlifting team under head coach Tommy Kono won a record number of Olympic medals using assistant Olympic coach Carl Miller's coaching system. He gathered the best lifters in the country, had the best coaches in the sport, and introduced new lifting techniques to elevate the U.S. lifters to contenders. Carl Miller has dedicated himself to analyzing and tweaking the techniques of Olympic lifting. During the 1970s, in addition to his duties with the Olympic team, he was a National coach, World coach, elementary school teacher and vice principal. As a teacher and vice principal Miller developed physical conditioning programs for the kids in his school. During his 30 years, and still counting, as founder and co-owner of Carl & Sandra's Physical Conditioning Center, lifters seek out Carl, his son Shane and staff for Olympic-style training. Carl & Sandra's Conditioning Center stands apart from other gyms because Carl Miller's philosophy revolved around the benefits of weight training long before it became popular. He weaves the hundreds of tiny components of Olympic-style weightlifting into beneficial fitness programs for gym members with a wide variety of profiles, and at the same time, his Conditioning Center trains a team of nationally competitive masters Olympic weightlifters. The Sport of Olympic-Style Weightlifting provides the athlete with a comprehensive review of the critical elements that mold a champion. Winning isn't simply about lifting technique, eating the right food or visualizing lifts. You will discover the importance of body levers and the nuances of adjusting for your own unique body measurements, you will learn the finer points of planning the different phases of your training, you will be enthralled with the diverse programs available to incorporate in your routines, and you will grasp how your mind contributes to your accomplishments at critical points along your trajectory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why learn the secrets of the squat snatch? The answer is obvious if you’re an Olympic-style weightlifting competitor—or a coach, fan or history buff of this sport. It’s the most authoritatively endorsed book ever written on this lift. But did you know that the squat snatch is not only the best single test of strength, speed and coordination. It’s also the single best exercise to develop these empowering attributes. According to Dr. Allison Brager who is a neuroscientist, as well as a competitive CrossFit athlete and author of Meathead: Unraveling the Athletic Brain: The Secrets of the Squat Snatch is the complete tool kit for athletes and their coaches who strive to elegantly channel—while enhancing—their explosive neuro-muscular power through this standard Olympic lift. You can, and ideally should do a lot of other exercises, but the one you’ll get the most benefit from for time spent is the squat snatch. This book, therefore, is a must read if you’re a CrossFit trainee,An athlete who wants to excel in another active sport,Anyone who wants to enhance his or her explosive neuro-muscular power for any good and just purpose. I’m Dr. Peter T George. My weightlifting buddies know me as Pete George—that’s the name I’m listed as in the Olympic record books. I was blessed to have been coached by Larry Barnholth. He was the legendary coach who figured out how the squat snatch should be performed to achieve maximum poundage with stability. He then produced champions who broke records in the snatch with the squat style when most of the world’s lifters were using the split style. In 1950 when Larry was besieged with enquires for his “secrets” to mastering this lift, I helped him write and publish the first edition of this book. TOMMY KONO AND DAVE SHEPPARD were the first two purchasers of the Secrets of the Squat Snatch. After reading it, both went on to beat official world records on this lift. In fact, Tommy was declared by the International Weightlifting Federation to have been the greatest weightlifter of the twentieth Century. How much credit should this hip pocket manual get for their worldwide successes? No one can say for sure, but Dave personally told me that it was very helpful to him in perfecting his nearly flawless style. Tommy had very carefully and neatly marked up the ideas he wanted to remember in his copy to the extent that the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports at the University of Texas obtained his original copy to preserve in their archives. I hope they’ll display it or a copy in the room they have dedicated to him in their museum. Tommy’s phenomenal success as a weightlifter is even more impressive when you consider he never had a personal coach, although he obtained as much information as he could acquire from Larry Barnholth in their several meetings and through their postal correspondence. Tommy was my close personal friend for over 60 years. He stayed active on the world weightlifting scene—officiating, coaching and writing—until very near his death in 2016. He kept urging me to republish this book. He claimed there was none simpler for a beginner to quickly learn the squat snatch nor one more authoritative for the experienced lifer to perfect his or her style. I’m sorry I did not publish it sooner, but it is for the above reasons that I have dedicated this Vintage Edition of the Secrets of the Squat Snatch to my dear friend and Olympic teammate Tommy Kono.
